The combination of the Stanstead Express, the BigBus and the boat tour is just perfect! All the presentation was perfect and humorous. Great fun! Would be better if the train ticket also extended to the bus though - £1 more - otherwise you have to change to the tube at extra cost, which was unexpected.

I was extremely lucky and boarded the train about one minute before departure. The busses heading to Liverpool Street Station got severely delayed, and I had to switch to a taxi.

It's quickest way to travel from Stansted to Central London. The WiFi is a bonus. When buying a ticket, some touch screens on the machines not functioning well, after trying on several machines I was able to purchase a ticket.
